Best place to purchase icecap metal halide retro kit?

[flfireman1]

Ive been checking prices on-line and so far found DIYreefs to have the best prices on 175W icecap retro kits. Any of you folks have any better contacts or websites with better deals?

Any and all help would be appreciated!
Thanks
Eric

Did you check Hellolights or champion lighting?

I got a killer deal from hellolights last year. Saved $60.00 per ballast.

Good luck.

Looks like Hellolights doesnt carry Icecap anymore. Anybody use the 175w Lumenarc III Metal Halide Retrofit Kit with Electronic ARO Ballast listed on there site? Is Icecap the "best" electornic ballast out there or are there other brands as good or better???

I was looking to buy from AquaCave, they have retro fit Ice cap for a good price.

The ARO ballasts Hellolights sell are the exact same as the Icecaps from a year ago or so. Icecap has changed their ballasts recently so they are no longer the same.

Hey folks thanks for the input. After checking most of the internet for an icecap hqi 250w ballast. I ended up buying it from DIYreefs. They had the best price. 169.00 for the icecap retro kit minus the bulb.
